Hey, Sdrqaz,
I hope you had a pleasant weekend. I think if you look at the page history of Draft:Adaptive Noise Cancelling, it's clear that the editor just put the wrong name when they moved the page, they meant "Draft" but put it in the title section and forgot to change the namespace from "User" to "Draft". I think this page can be safely deleted. Or this can just remain an amicable difference of opinion between admins! Stay well! Liz Read! Talk! 04:16, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Just informing you that you've had an impersonator ( User:Sdrqez) pop up and close AFDs on your behalf. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 08:37, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey, Sdrqaz,
I hope you are well. Since you seem like you are following the lastest troll, I decided to protect several AFDs that he attacked with several different sockpuppets. I have never protected a discussion page before so I hope that people see this as a way to reduce vandalism. Feel free to lift it if you think it is counter-productive. Liz Read!

Regarding RV University, I was on new page patrol and noticed that it was a near-duplicate of a prior article that had been moved from mainspace to draftspace. I assume the editor is trying to get around draftification. I thought A10 was correct, but obviously not, since it doesn't apply to drafts. What do I do to remove this duplication? Thanks. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:09, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Why do you keep deleting my speedy templates for unreasonable reasons. Is there something I did to you that I don't know? This is hard to understand! When do you think the draft should be deleted after 10 years, for example?-- Sakiv ( talk) 21:42, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
"have not been edited by a human in six months". Before you began editing it, the last edit was on 23 November 2021. You tagged it on 17 May 2022, before the six months was up. That was declined by Explicit. You tagged it again today, eight days after Explicit edited it. That is not six months after the last human's edit. What's the rush in getting it deleted? Is it harming the encyclopaedia in any way? Leave the draft alone, and after six months (if no-one edits it in that period), it'll be deleted. If your nominations are correct, I will delete them. If they're not, I will decline them. This is nothing personal.I would say, however, that I am thoroughly disappointed by your conduct at 2022–23 Borussia Dortmund season / 2022-23 Dortmund season. NoyalZIRock created an article on a subject, you tried to get it deleted, it was declined, you moved it to the wrong title, redirected it, and requested deletion again. You then created an article on the same subject days later, at the right title because you had moved away someone else's work. That behaviour is beyond the pale. Wikipedia is not about winning. Sdrqaz ( talk) 22:44, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
"There was no point in what you did. The page has been reviewed and that's it. There are no other articles about this subject. The article will be developed in the next few days."You had moved two articles on that subject to incorrect titles ( 1, 2) days before that statement. How is this behaviour compatible with your permissions, granted by Schwede66 and TonyBallioni? Sdrqaz ( talk) 02:12, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Administrator, BFDI (Franchise) doesn't have any context and has been deleted before too and someone is trying to push it hardly on mainspace? Which csd should i place it on if it's not nonsense which doesn't have any context. I thought A7 or G11 wouldn't workout in this context, sometimes mistake happens can you enlight my mistake so i can be careful in future while logging csd? Owlf 📪 16:52, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
"Which csd should i place it on if it's not nonsense which doesn't have any context", the answer is usually A1. However, BFDI (Franchise) did have context. Not having context, for CSD, is when you cannot identify what the subject is. That applies even when there isn't a lot of information in the article itself (that's what was there on the page when it was tagged). Even if we had zero content apart from the title, a Google search for "BFDI franchise" gives me a Fandom article, which is more than enough information. You are right that A7 and G11 did not apply, as television programs are exempt from A7 and it was in no way promotional.Being deleted before and having someone
"trying to push it hardly on mainspace"doesn't mean articles have to be deleted. While in this case it was deleted because it was a copy of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion, that may not always apply and patrollers need to be careful when tagging pages; good knowledge of CSDs for new page reviewers is necessary.

Oh hi, I see you reverted my edit on Durgeshwar Lal. I see that I made a mistake in adding a CSD for that article, but in my defense, the article was very illegible to even understand before you made it (thankfully) more understandable. The guy just put the words 'durgeshwar lal currently sitting MLA of purola vidhansabha uttrakhand' and thought that was good enough. In retrospect, I should have put a 'needs copyediting' tag before deciding to delete it. Thank you. Spodle Talk 01:02, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Sdrqaz,
I see you have encountered our vandal from Louisville, Kentucky. He has been traveling over June throughout the Southern states but posting the same vandalism during his trip. For female celebrities, he talks about their genitals and rape, for male celebrities, he talks about what monsters they are and how they ravish young women. It's the same content over and over again now for at least two years. It's typically targeting Hollywood actors and actresses but for a while, he was going after 19th century U.S. Presidents, posting the same content that has to be revision deleted. He/She watches protection and I've seen him return the day after page protection expired. It's really exhausting as he both goes back to older targets, like Betty White or John Travolata, as well as targets new, unlikely personalities. I wish there was a way to do a range block but it would be a lot of different ranges and I think we would take out much of the city of Louisville. At least, we have very vigilant page patrollers who revert the edits pretty quickly after they are made but it can go on quite a while before an admin gets around to protecting the article. The longer the protection, the better, if it is imposed for 3 days, he'll just start up again on day 4.
We also have a similar vandal who targets Bollywood actresses, says terrible things and their IP always geolocates to Bhubaneswar, but, luckily, I haven't seen them around lately. Liz Read! Talk! 00:00, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi. The page that you deleted under the G3 rationale, I tagged as G10 because it said to the reader that they were sus (suspicious, which can be leveraged as an insult) - and I thought that an attack page was a page that is specifically designed to attack the subject or any other entity (I thought the reader was an entity). Another page which was not deleted I tagged under a G10 rationale told the reader that the person who wrote this page was better than them, which I also thought was an attack on the reader (refer to previous point I made about the first page). Can you please clarify this (is the reader an entity or not)? Thanks. Train of Knowledge ( Talk) 04:12, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
"disparage, threaten, intimidate, or harass their subject or some other entity, and serve no other purpose"(emphasis mine).Looking at User:FuzzyAnimal2/sandbox (the first of the pages), I know of the background behind that term, but I think that
"sus"is very weak and the "target" being the reader (unlike someone specific, like me) means that the potential for feeling disparaged or threatened etc is very very low. That felt more like regular vandalism than something that can be considered an attack page. As for User:Strawberry5754/sandbox (the second of the pages), I view
"Hi i'm better than you"to be more a boast than an actual attack against the reader. However, I believed that it would be too bitey to delete it as unambiguous promotion, as it felt like a simple joke (I could say that the first one was one too).To answer your question at the end, I would say no. For me, an entity needs to be relatively well-defined, while "the reader" is not (the reader could be anyone with internet access, really). For pages that you believe attack the reader, I think tagging it with {{ db-vandalism}} would be fine, unless you believe the attack to be particularly egregious (like accusations of murder, paedophilia, or usage of slurs). Please ask if there's further clarification needed. Sdrqaz ( talk) 02:00, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for reviewing the A7 nominations of the articles about the boxers at the Commonwealth Games. At the time of nomination, these articles were one line stubs that merely suggested participation. I delved into the guidelines to see if these articles met notability requirements and I decided under much deliberation that they didn’t meet WP:NBOXING. Clearly this was wrong, however this seems to be a mistake I keep making, and to be frank it’s a little embarrassing. Do you have any tips about how I can help avoid tagging articles incorrectly in future? I only want to get better at this. Osarius 06:29, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
"have represented their AIBA affiliated country in a continental (or higher) tournament", with their affiliations here. Even without that notability guideline, I think the key thing to remember about A7 and credible claims of significance is that it's a very low bar. Meeting a criterion for speedy deletion means a page can be deleted on sight by any administrator; this is why the criteria are generally written quite conservatively, to the frustration of many new page patrollers."x is a boxer" usually fails A7 because there's nothing significant being asserted. Even with such a seemingly-obvious case, I would still do a quick online search of the article's name to see if there's any other information available ( NPPLinks.js makes that a quicker process); maybe the article's writer is still working on the page. I would say that simple participation in high-level international tournaments is usually enough to clear the "credible claim of significance" bar. Up until an RfC this year, for example, association footballers who had played in a competitive game between two teams from fully-professional leagues were considered notable (that didn't even require for it to be an international match). As tedious as it may sound, I would advise reading the relevant criterion when considering whether to tag a page – the actual text at WP:CSD, not just the summary in the Twinkle menu. While Twinkle as a tool is great (though I would say I used it more as a non-administrator), the summaries it gives are slightly simplistic and often don't capture the exceptions and nuances listed in the actual policy text. I very often re-check the criteria when I delete pages, even when I've deleted pages under a specific criterion over and over again, because I don't want to make mistakes. Caution is crucial. If you think that someone may disagree with your speedy deletion tag, use a PROD or the AfD process instead.It's important to remember that editors are human and will make mistakes (Q3). The fact that you've come here and asked for advice (even if that advice is coming far too late) with the desire to improve is undoubtedly a positive thing. Keep it up, and please ask if you want any clarifications or have further questions. Best wishes, Sdrqaz ( talk) 02:55, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, the CSD U5 was declined as Wikipedia does allow limited biographical information on a Userpage. However this new editor has a link to his/her Twitter page. Per WP:UP#PROMO we don't allow promotional links, but are links to personal social media acceptable? Other administors have deleted pages for having these links so I'd just like some guidance before tagging again. Blue Riband► 14:46, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
"You are also welcome to include a simple link to your personal home page". I think a link to one's Twitter profile (or other social media) would be considered that. The current issue with U5 is that a few administrators are interpreting it in an overly- bitey manner and using it as a catch-all for [thing I don't like in userspace].

Hey. I was wondering if I could convince you to take another look at this page. While you're correct in saying that it was a soft delete, this is now the second time that Saimum11 has tried to create the page as a draft, and after having it rejected re-created the page in the article space. Based on the comments at AfD, this was first attempted between February and July of this year, before happening again ( last rejection, new article creation) in August and earlier today.
I'm still happy to AfD that if it's necessary, but I thought I'd ask first if you'd reconsider. Sideswipe9th ( talk) 23:03, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
"does not cover content ... that was only deleted via proposed deletion (including deletion discussions closed as 'soft delete')". I am not going to delete the article against that policy. While creating articles against reviewers' wishes may not endear editors to patrollers, it ultimately isn't relevant to whether a page should be deleted under G4 because it is governed by strict rules. AfC's purpose is to identify which submissions will probably be deleted, and the WikiProject's members can make mistakes. Since it is, generally speaking, not a mandatory process, editors can try to pursue publication despite declinations. Sdrqaz ( talk) 01:23, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey Sdrqaz, sorry to bother you but I wanted to ask about this page. I nominated it under CSD:G2, which I understand was not correct.
In this case, a user with several hundred edits created a user page for another user and set it to redirect to their page. How do you suggest I nominate a page like this in the future if I come across it again? Should I just leave a custom explanation? Hey man im josh ( talk) 19:17, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
"At least one of the other deletion criteria must still apply to the page, and you must make mention of this in your rationale. This is not a 'catch-all' for when you can't find any criteria that fit".While I suppose that G6 is the closest criterion to fitting, there is considerable disquiet ( permalink) about its badly-defined scope and misuse. If you see a page like this in the future, I would blank the page, as I did this time – the userpages can be dealt with without stretching the speedy deletion criteria and there's no urgent need to make the pages disappear. If the owner of the userpage (as in not the creator, but User:C or User:CD in this case) wants the page deleted, they can tag it with {{ db-user}}. Prior to blanking, you could also discuss with the editor who created those redirects to see if they were willing to tag it with {{ db-author}}. Sdrqaz ( talk) 22:09, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

You or another admin should probably scrub that username from edit summaries, as I suspect it is a doxx. Liliana ( UwU / nya) 04:33, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Sdrqaz,
Thank you for restoring those pages that were deleted when main space articles were mistakenly moved to Draft space. In one case, it was the page creator who moved the article to Draft space and the other was a longtime contributor who didn't seem to know that older articles shouldn't be draftified. When I come across these pages on a list of page moves, from main space to Draft space, there isn't much information provided on the circumstances of the move so I just deleted them redirects as CSD R2s and Twinkle deletes any associated redirects from the main space article or talk page. Usually any page move errors for the day are caught before the move list is generated around 01:18 UTC which is the list I work with. Any way, thanks for cleaning up these errors. I appreciate it!

" deleted per a deletion discussion"after all. I'd say that the version you tagged is worse than that 2019 version, but whether it's substantially identical ...

Hello, Sdrqaz, I'm sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask a favour. I was wondering if I could convince you to take another look at this page (Leading Reporters). You flagged it for speedy deletion because of A7 and G11 as I did not intentionally decide to advertise or promote this page, but I created it in order to give it a more meaningful context and some level of in-depth knowledge.
I would really appreciate it if the page could be restored to draft so that I could fundamentally rewrite the page to serve as an encyclopedia article. Or should I go on to create a new page article while putting G11 into consideration?
Please and thank you. Gevangfrank ( talk) 03:51, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
"at the fore of promoting peace journalism, accountability and morality in leadership; human unity, social cohesion and good governance"are not appropriate for an encyclopaedia. While it was tagged as having no indication of importance, I deleted it as unambiguous promotion. As I only delete pages as such when it is truly unambiguous, I suspect that restoring it to draftspace will lead to a similar result. Moreover, the page had long quotes from https://leadingreporters.com/about/ that I did not view as necessary. I will therefore not restore the page, sorry. However, I have posted the contents of the infobox here if you wish to use that material; the link will expire after a month.

Hello Sdrqaz, would you be willing to take another look at User:The Timeless Designer? You declined deletion as it didn't appear promotional yet the weblink he/she posted there directs to a website for their graphic and interior design services. Maybe I'm misreading something but that sure looks like promotion to me. The Username is also the same name as that of their company. Blue Riband► 17:34, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
"I'm the co-founder of [link]"and nothing else. I think that the framing around the link matters – the mere presence of the website does not mean automatic deletion.A common response I've found from those with promotional usernames is that even though they are violations of policy (hence Oshwah's block, resolving that issue), many of them view it as an effort to be transparent about who they are and being upfront about their conflicts of interest, and I think that the user page this person created was a reasonable way of achieving that goal.This is all a long-winded way to say that I have taken another look at the user page, and still will not delete it, sorry. I don't love the page, but I don't think it reaches the
"exclusively promotional"bar of G11 either. Thank you for asking. Sdrqaz ( talk) 03:11, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Sdrqaz, I saw you're an Administrator on Wikipedia after you wrote to me on my talk page and I'm not exactly sure who to communicate to about this but an admin reverted the article of a micronation I made back into a redirect. I understand if it lacks notability but I questioned the admin about it and he says its because of undue weight violation, but I have done my best to write the article as neutrally as possible? (view version history for Verdis). He says it promotes something that doesn't have status in reality, but saying that would mean every other micronation including Liberland which is near the micronation I wrote about would have to go. I don't think he understands the definition of micronation and instead things I'm writing about an actual unrecognised state. Could I be misunderstanding something? A lot of micronations I've seen have been written and approved which barely any references, but I have put independent ones from Journals of Law, Pagina 12 and many other known news stations particularly in Croatia, Serbia and Argentina. Could you please look into this? If I am wrong, could you help me understand so that I don't make these mistakes on future edits? I put a lot of work and research into that wiki page. Thanks.

Hey, Sdrqaz,
I hope you had a pleasant weekend. I think if you look at the page history of Draft:Adaptive Noise Cancelling, it's clear that the editor just put the wrong name when they moved the page, they meant "Draft" but put it in the title section and forgot to change the namespace from "User" to "Draft". I think this page can be safely deleted. Or this can just remain an amicable difference of opinion between admins! Stay well! Liz Read! Talk! 04:16, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Regarding RV University, I was on new page patrol and noticed that it was a near-duplicate of a prior article that had been moved from mainspace to draftspace.

Why do you keep deleting my speedy templates for unreasonable reasons. Is there something I did to you that I don't know? This is hard to understand! When do you think the draft should be deleted after 10 years, for example?-- Sakiv ( talk) 21:42, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
"have not been edited by a human in six months". Before you began editing it, the last edit was on 23 November 2021. You tagged it on 17 May 2022, before the six months was up. That was declined by Explicit. You tagged it again today, eight days after Explicit edited it. That is not six months after the last human's edit. What's the rush in getting it deleted? Is it harming the encyclopaedia in any way? Leave the draft alone, and after six months (if no-one edits it in that period), it'll be deleted. If your nominations are correct, I will delete them. If they're not, I will decline them. This is nothing personal.I would say, however, that I am thoroughly disappointed by your conduct at 2022–23 Borussia Dortmund season / 2022-23 Dortmund season. NoyalZIRock created an article on a subject, you tried to get it deleted, it was declined, you moved it to the wrong title, redirected it, and requested deletion again. You then created an article on the same subject days later, at the right title because you had moved away someone else's work. That behaviour is beyond the pale. Wikipedia is not about winning.

Hi Administrator, BFDI (Franchise) doesn't have any context and has been deleted before too and someone is trying to push it hardly on mainspace? Which csd should i place it on if it's not nonsense which doesn't have any context. I thought A7 or G11 wouldn't workout in this context, sometimes mistake happens can you enlight my mistake so i can be careful in future while logging csd? Owlf 📪 16:52, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
"Which csd should i place it on if it's not nonsense which doesn't have any context", the answer is usually A1. However, BFDI (Franchise) did have context. Not having context, for CSD, is when you cannot identify what the subject is. That applies even when there isn't a lot of information in the article itself (that's what was there on the page when it was tagged). Even if we had zero content apart from the title, a Google search for "BFDI franchise" gives me a Fandom article, which is more than enough information. You are right that A7 and G11 did not apply, as television programs are exempt from A7 and it was in no way promotional.Being deleted before and having someone
"trying to push it hardly on mainspace"doesn't mean articles have to be deleted. While in this case it was deleted because it was a copy of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion, that may not always apply and patrollers need to be careful when tagging pages; good knowledge of CSDs for new page reviewers is necessary.

Hello, Sdrqaz,
I see you have encountered our vandal from Louisville, Kentucky. He has been traveling over June throughout the Southern states but posting the same vandalism during his trip. For female celebrities, he talks about their genitals and rape, for male celebrities, he talks about what monsters they are and how they ravish young women. It's the same content over and over again now for at least two years. It's typically targeting Hollywood actors and actresses but for a while, he was going after 19th century U.S. Presidents, posting the same content that has to be revision deleted. He/She watches protection and I've seen him return the day after page protection expired. It's really exhausting as he both goes back to older targets, like Betty White or John Travolata, as well as targets new, unlikely personalities. I wish there was a way to do a range block but it would be a lot of different ranges and I think we would take out much of the city of Louisville. At least, we have very vigilant page patrollers who revert the edits pretty quickly after they are made but it can go on quite a while before an admin gets around to protecting the article. The longer the protection, the better, if it is imposed for 3 days, he'll just start up again on day 4.
We also have a similar vandal who targets Bollywood actresses, says terrible things and their IP always geolocates to Bhubaneswar, but, luckily, I haven't seen them around lately. Liz Read! Talk! 00:00, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi. The page that you deleted under the G3 rationale, I tagged as G10 because it said to the reader that they were sus (suspicious, which can be leveraged as an insult) - and I thought that an attack page was a page that is specifically designed to attack the subject or any other entity (I thought the reader was an entity). Another page which was not deleted I tagged under a G10 rationale told the reader that the person who wrote this page was better than them, which I also thought was an attack on the reader (refer to previous point I made about the first page). Can you please clarify this (is the reader an entity or not)? Thanks. Train of Knowledge ( Talk) 04:12, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
"disparage, threaten, intimidate, or harass their subject or some other entity, and serve no other purpose"(emphasis mine).Looking at User:FuzzyAnimal2/sandbox (the first of the pages), I know of the background behind that term, but I think that
"sus"is very weak and the "target" being the reader (unlike someone specific, like me) means that the potential for feeling disparaged or threatened etc is very very low. That felt more like regular vandalism than something that can be considered an attack page. As for User:Strawberry5754/sandbox (the second of the pages), I view
"Hi i'm better than you"to be more a boast than an actual attack against the reader. However, I believed that it would be too bitey to delete it as unambiguous promotion, as it felt like a simple joke (I could say that the first one was one too).To answer your question at the end, I would say no. For me, an entity needs to be relatively well-defined, while "the reader" is not (the reader could be anyone with internet access, really). For pages that you believe attack the reader, I think tagging it with {{ db-vandalism}} would be fine, unless you believe the attack to be particularly egregious (like accusations of murder, paedophilia, or usage of slurs). Please ask if there's further clarification needed. Sdrqaz ( talk) 02:00, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for reviewing the A7 nominations of the articles about the boxers at the Commonwealth Games. At the time of nomination, these articles were one line stubs that merely suggested participation. I delved into the guidelines to see if these articles met notability requirements and I decided under much deliberation that they didn’t meet WP:NBOXING. Clearly this was wrong, however this seems to be a mistake I keep making, and to be frank it’s a little embarrassing. Do you have any tips about how I can help avoid tagging articles incorrectly in future? I only want to get better at this. Osarius 06:29, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
"have represented their AIBA affiliated country in a continental (or higher) tournament", with their affiliations here. Even without that notability guideline, I think the key thing to remember about A7 and credible claims of significance is that it's a very low bar. Meeting a criterion for speedy deletion means a page can be deleted on sight by any administrator; this is why the criteria are generally written quite conservatively, to the frustration of many new page patrollers."x is a boxer" usually fails A7 because there's nothing significant being asserted. Even with such a seemingly-obvious case, I would still do a quick online search of the article's name to see if there's any other information available ( NPPLinks.js makes that a quicker process); maybe the article's writer is still working on the page. I would say that simple participation in high-level international tournaments is usually enough to clear the "credible claim of significance" bar. Up until an RfC this year, for example, association footballers who had played in a competitive game between two teams from fully-professional leagues were considered notable (that didn't even require for it to be an international match). As tedious as it may sound, I would advise reading the relevant criterion when considering whether to tag a page – the actual text at WP:CSD, not just the summary in the Twinkle menu. While Twinkle as a tool is great (though I would say I used it more as a non-administrator), the summaries it gives are slightly simplistic and often don't capture the exceptions and nuances listed in the actual policy text. I very often re-check the criteria when I delete pages, even when I've deleted pages under a specific criterion over and over again, because I don't want to make mistakes. Caution is crucial. If you think that someone may disagree with your speedy deletion tag, use a PROD or the AfD process instead.It's important to remember that editors are human and will make mistakes (Q3). The fact that you've come here and asked for advice (even if that advice is coming far too late) with the desire to improve is undoubtedly a positive thing. Keep it up, and please ask if you want any clarifications or have further questions. Best wishes, Sdrqaz ( talk) 02:55, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, the CSD U5 was declined as Wikipedia does allow limited biographical information on a Userpage. However this new editor has a link to his/her Twitter page. Per WP:UP#PROMO we don't allow promotional links, but are links to personal social media acceptable? Other administors have deleted pages for having these links so I'd just like some guidance before tagging again. Blue Riband► 14:46, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
"You are also welcome to include a simple link to your personal home page". I think a link to one's Twitter profile (or other social media) would be considered that. The current issue with U5 is that a few administrators are interpreting it in an overly- bitey manner and using it as a catch-all for [thing I don't like in userspace].

Hey. I was wondering if I could convince you to take another look at this page. While you're correct in saying that it was a soft delete, this is now the second time that Saimum11 has tried to create the page as a draft, and after having it rejected re-created the page in the article space. Based on the comments at AfD, this was first attempted between February and July of this year, before happening again ( last rejection, new article creation) in August and earlier today.
I'm still happy to AfD that if it's necessary, but I thought I'd ask first if you'd reconsider. Sideswipe9th ( talk) 23:03, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
"does not cover content ... that was only deleted via proposed deletion (including deletion discussions closed as 'soft delete')". I am not going to delete the article against that policy. While creating articles against reviewers' wishes may not endear editors to patrollers, it ultimately isn't relevant to whether a page should be deleted under G4 because it is governed by strict rules. AfC's purpose is to identify which submissions will probably be deleted, and the WikiProject's members can make mistakes. Since it is, generally speaking, not a mandatory process, editors can try to pursue publication despite declinations. Sdrqaz ( talk) 01:23, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey Sdrqaz, sorry to bother you but I wanted to ask about this page. I nominated it under CSD:G2, which I understand was not correct.
In this case, a user with several hundred edits created a user page for another user and set it to redirect to their page. How do you suggest I nominate a page like this in the future if I come across it again? Should I just leave a custom explanation? Hey man im josh ( talk) 19:17, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
"At least one of the other deletion criteria must still apply to the page, and you must make mention of this in your rationale. This is not a 'catch-all' for when you can't find any criteria that fit".While I suppose that G6 is the closest criterion to fitting, there is considerable disquiet ( permalink) about its badly-defined scope and misuse. If you see a page like this in the future, I would blank the page, as I did this time – the userpages can be dealt with without stretching the speedy deletion criteria and there's no urgent need to make the pages disappear. If the owner of the userpage (as in not the creator, but User:C or User:CD in this case) wants the page deleted, they can tag it with {{ db-user}}. Prior to blanking, you could also discuss with the editor who created those redirects to see if they were willing to tag it with {{ db-author}}. Sdrqaz ( talk) 22:09, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

You or another admin should probably scrub that username from edit summaries, as I suspect it is a doxx. Liliana ( UwU / nya) 04:33, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Sdrqaz,
Thank you for restoring those pages that were deleted when main space articles were mistakenly moved to Draft space. In one case, it was the page creator who moved the article to Draft space and the other was a longtime contributor who didn't seem to know that older articles shouldn't be draftified. When I come across these pages on a list of page moves, from main space to Draft space, there isn't much information provided on the circumstances of the move so I just deleted them redirects as CSD R2s and Twinkle deletes any associated redirects from the main space article or talk page. Usually any page move errors for the day are caught before the move list is generated around 01:18 UTC which is the list I work with. Any way, thanks for cleaning up these errors. I appreciate it!

I was just about to self-revert the speedy deletion, but you beat me to it, thanks. It looks pretty "substantially identical" in the Wayback'd version: [2]. But rules are rules. Storchy ( talk) 12:40, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
" deleted per a deletion discussion"after all. I'd say that the version you tagged is worse than that 2019 version, but whether it's substantially identical ... I suppose reasonable people can disagree on that one, though looking at the version now, it seems like someone else has discovered the Wayback Machine. Sdrqaz ( talk) 17:58, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Sdrqaz, I'm sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask a favour. I was wondering if I could convince you to take another look at this page (Leading Reporters). You flagged it for speedy deletion because of A7 and G11 as I did not intentionally decide to advertise or promote this page, but I created it in order to give it a more meaningful context and some level of in-depth knowledge.
I would really appreciate it if the page could be restored to draft so that I could fundamentally rewrite the page to serve as an encyclopedia article. Or should I go on to create a new page article while putting G11 into consideration?
Please and thank you. Gevangfrank ( talk) 03:51, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
"at the fore of promoting peace journalism, accountability and morality in leadership; human unity, social cohesion and good governance"are not appropriate for an encyclopaedia. While it was tagged as having no indication of importance, I deleted it as unambiguous promotion. As I only delete pages as such when it is truly unambiguous, I suspect that restoring it to draftspace will lead to a similar result. Moreover, the page had long quotes from https://leadingreporters.com/about/ that I did not view as necessary. I will therefore not restore the page, sorry. However, I have posted the contents of the infobox here if you wish to use that material; the link will expire after a month. Please also take note of the requirements for both paid editors and editors with a conflict of interest. Sdrqaz ( talk) 17:58, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
Still learning the right way to use the revdel tool. I thought I had to revdel the reverting diffs as well, but doesn't appear that's the case. Thanks for the cleanup. ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 22:40, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello Sdrqaz, would you be willing to take another look at User:The Timeless Designer? You declined deletion as it didn't appear promotional yet the weblink he/she posted there directs to a website for their graphic and interior design services. Maybe I'm misreading something but that sure looks like promotion to me. The Username is also the same name as that of their company. Blue Riband► 17:34, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
"I'm the co-founder of [link]"and nothing else. I think that the framing around the link matters – the mere presence of the website does not mean automatic deletion.A common response I've found from those with promotional usernames is that even though they are violations of policy (hence Oshwah's block, resolving that issue), many of them view it as an effort to be transparent about who they are and being upfront about their conflicts of interest, and I think that the user page this person created was a reasonable way of achieving that goal.This is all a long-winded way to say that I have taken another look at the user page, and still will not delete it, sorry. I don't love the page, but I don't think it reaches the
"exclusively promotional"bar of G11 either. Thank you for asking. Sdrqaz ( talk) 03:11, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Sdrqaz, I saw you're an Administrator on Wikipedia after you wrote to me on my talk page and I'm not exactly sure who to communicate to about this but an admin reverted the article of a micronation I made back into a redirect. I understand if it lacks notability but I questioned the admin about it and he says its because of undue weight violation, but I have done my best to write the article as neutrally as possible? (view version history for Verdis). He says it promotes something that doesn't have status in reality, but saying that would mean every other micronation including Liberland which is near the micronation I wrote about would have to go. I don't think he understands the definition of micronation and instead things I'm writing about an actual unrecognised state. Could I be misunderstanding something? A lot of micronations I've seen have been written and approved which barely any references, but I have put independent ones from Journals of Law, Pagina 12 and many other known news stations particularly in Croatia, Serbia and Argentina. Could you please look into this? If I am wrong, could you help me understand so that I don't make these mistakes on future edits? I put a lot of work and research into that wiki page. Thanks.

Hey! I noticed that you said to please notify users of the speedy deletion of the redirect. I tagged it with Twinkle so it should've automatically notified the redirect creator, did it not? If it didn't then I apologize as it should've done so (and normally does). ― Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:41, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
Sdrqaz ( talk) 01:05, 4 November 2022 (UTC)You blanked [page] and it's been deleted because we interpret that as an author's request. If that was a mistake and you want it restored, please make a request at WP:REFUND. In the future, you can add
{{ db-author}}
to a page when you want it to be deleted, provided that you're the only substantial author.

"policy-violating content, such as vandalism, copyright violations, defamation, or poor-quality coverage of living people"( WP:PREFER), I'd rather not. In line with the policy and guideline I cited at RfPP, I'd advise using AfD to garner a "higher" level of consensus and greater participation if the RfC does not give a clear answer.
